    Well, I have a confession to make, I was s couch potato when I was a kid. I used to watch a lot of tv shows, especially in the summer holidays. But, now things have changed, I m a grown-up and don’t get as much time to watch tv. On top of that, now I have access to social platforms like Netflix, Amazon prime, and more where I usually binge-watch when I ever get some spare time. Having said that, there is a tv show, which I love watching and the name of the show is Friends. For me, it’s not only a show but it’s an emotion.

    It’s a 90’s sitcom TV show, based in Manhattan, about 6 friends who go through just about every

    life experience imaginable together; love, marriage, divorce, children, heartbreaks, fights, new jobs, and all sorts of drama. The story revolves around the main six characters, which are Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and ross. Friends first aired over 20 years ago and yet it is still loved and watched across the globe. I started watching this show in 2019 and since then I have been a huge fan of friends. Friends have 10 seasons and every single season has 24 episodes.

     

    How often do you watch?

    I have never seen a dull moment in the show, every episode is absolutely hilarious. The show streams on the central comedy channel every night at 9. And, I never miss watching this show. On weekdays, I mostly watch it alone because my family remains caught up with their stuff or work. However, on weekends we watch it together while having dinner. Apart from watching this show on tv, I have the option to watch it on Netflix. So, whenever I feel low or stressed I watch this show and all my worries and stress take a backseat. Friends are timeless because one can relate to them and this is what makes the show so successful.

    And explain why it is your favorite Tv program.

    Besides this, Because of the characters’ eccentric humor and natural acting, this show made me laugh a lot..what is more, this show has taught me Friends can help us celebrate good times and provide support during bad times.so, These were the reasons why I like this show so much and I highly recommend this show to everyone.
